Four of the witnesses were people who were arriving or leaving the mall, including one man who was parking his car when the group of four men opened fire in the parking lot.

Another witness was a security guard who told police he was intentionally shot at by at least one man before he rolled under a car to protect himself.

But the four young men who police believe were shot at are not helping at all, Rulli said. One of them is a 20-year-old South Bend man who was brushed by a bullet on the back of his head.

So far, police believe that the altercation, between two groups of four men, began with an argument inside the mallÂ?s food court.

Witnesses told police they saw the two groups of men throwing hand signs at each other before they went to their vehicles and retrieved firearms. Numerous shots were fired. According to witnesses, one group fired at the other.

Police believe the group that was fired at tried to flee in a car before the driver lost control and hit a fire hydrant in the parking lot. All four men left the car. While the injured victim sought help from a bystander, the other three led police on a foot chase.

All four men were eventually caught by police, and one of them was arrested on charges of resisting law enforcement. All four men have now been released, including the injured victim, who was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital.

Police believe a gun recovered from a trash bin near a Kroger store was carried by one of the men fired upon.

The group that fired the shots got away. They were all in their late teens or early 20s and were wearing long, white T-shirts, police said. They drove a small, maroon car.
